This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of programming for solving scientific problems and familiarizes students with the process of computational thinking and translation of real-life computational problems. This course teaches computer programming to those with little to no previous experience. It uses the programming system and language called MATLAB to do so because it is easy to learn, versatile, and very useful for professionals in a wide variety of domains. Nevertheless, this course is not a MATLAB tutorial. It is an introductory programming course that uses MATLAB to illustrate general concepts in programming.
